Wed, 24 Apr 2013 16:12:44 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=399829#comment-480970With an .802 OPS, it’s hard to say he doesn’t belong in the big leagues, but it’s getting plainer every day he doesn’t belong at shortstop. How long until Soriano’s deal runs out? Castro looks like the perfect replacement for him, carrying on the tradition he established.

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 14:21:31 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=399829#comment-479446Castro is a manchild with the attention span of a 5 year old in the field. Either that or he simply can’t be bothered by trivial things like wearing his glove,keeping up with the number of outs,moving quickly to cover second base,positioning himself according to situation and pitch…..All of which has a detrimental effect on his team,none of which is a quantifiable number….Castro has no business wearing a big league uniform at this point….further proof that number generation is not the same thing as being a good player…

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 05:53:17 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=399829#comment-479350You’re managing a terrible team and you have a young player struggling to field his position and you suggest sending him back to the minors for more grooming? Here’s an idea, coach him up yourself or get one of your other coaches to do it. Work on it before and after every game, do whatever it takes bc sending him down isn’t the answer.

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 04:49:43 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=399829#comment-479340I agree thay Sveum is a good manager. He’s making it known that guys, no matter the pedigree, are accountable for their performance. Nothing wrong with that.

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 03:32:33 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=399829#comment-479317You’ll probably see a new manager next year, but Svuem is a good Manager. The guy probably has the hardest job of all the Managers in the big leagues. He has absolutely no one reliable to get him through an inning in his bullpen. His defense may be historically bad with 16 errors in 17 games, but what is he going to do? Stick another lousy fielder out there? He has nowhere to turn when times are tough.

He said the things in this article because, it’s going to be a long summer, and he’s going to need some guys to trust. Rizzo and Castro need to be those guys, because those are the only guys who aren’t going anywhere.

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 21:31:40 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=399829#comment-479216Maybe Talking Castro is wrong but what has Rizzo done so farthis year? A lousy average a ton of strikeouts and some homers. Last year is over. He needs to be producing this year, unless you guys like Adam Dunn 2.0 without the OBP.

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 21:17:25 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=399829#comment-479214Wait a minute. He believes in Sabermetrics. He must be an outstanding manager, right?

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:57:37 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=399829#comment-479205Ridiculous rhetoric… Maybe Sveum isn’t the manager to bring the Cubbies from point B to point A. We’ll see a new manager next year.

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:49:54 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=399829#comment-479204That’s funny.

The rest of the league regularly call up their AAA players who are struggling to start against the Cubs and take some of the pressure off.
